San Sai, Administrative district in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

San Sai spans across 285 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 395 meters, containing twelve distinct sub-districts with 116 villages.

The Thai government established San Sai as an administrative district in 1897, naming it after the sand dunes formed by river sediments.

Local residents maintain traditional Northern Thai practices through regular festivals, temple ceremonies, and the production of regional handicrafts.

Transportation networks connect San Sai to neighboring districts through local roads, with two main townships serving as commercial centers.

The district features natural sand formations at the meeting point of Ping and Khao rivers, creating seasonal geographical changes during monsoons.
